Saint's Supporter
Community Rating
Description
Dumped into a world by myself, set up with a class that requires others to excel with just over a week to prepare for a fight with a literal god.
This is just another betrayal to add to the list. I won't stop until I find the person who put me in this situation, along with my friend who I dragged into this mess.
Transferring to another world and gaining special powers is a dream for some, but if they were dropped into my shoes... they'd probably give up.
But I won't.
This story has the following elements:
If you're looking for the below, you may be disappointed:
**This story is a First Draft, changes may take place during the process. Three chapters per week at minimum.**
**So, this is set up as a GameLit transported to a new world story initially, but it focuses on how such a system would work in real life. There are levels, abilities and mana pools, but damage and health are realistic and combat is fast and frantic.
I think that is an interesting mix. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments. I'm always happy to discuss anything in relation to the story.**

- SkeelzienRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0So, I've read up to the last chapter before i made the review after a friend mentioned this to me. As the synopsis says, Author is happy to listen to suggestions and moves on any errors spotted quickly. Really enjoying it up to now, especially after all of the edits the author made to the first 30 chapters to smooth them out.
Style: No issues. I like how the author describes the scenes and how he constructs the world.
Story: Excellent up to now. Not the average "know it all" protag, which makes his growth feel earned rather than given without a thought.
Grammar: Some slight issues, but nothing big enough to pull me out of it. Author moves on anything pointed out at the first opportunity, so can't complain.
Character: Main character matches the synopsis. He is a loner, but has to learn to trust others throughout his stay on his new home. Other characters seem real, but have not been built up. I feel like there is more to each character, but will have to see how the author builds. The main side characters feel fleshed out and real.
Overall: Enjoyable read, definitely recommend you to give it a go. - Annie MRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0So, this review is written at the current chapter count (29). May update it later when more chapters are released.
TLDR: Really enjoying the read up to now and can’t wait to see where the author goes next.
Style
I can only say I am like the style here. Chapters are short but fast, which is a nice balance. The flow is fast, and I haven’t run into anything that pulls me out of it yet. Slight twist on the expected isekai genre, and looking forward to how the system is expanded upon. Release rate is fast, so there is usually something to come back to when you take a look.
Story
Up to this point the story has been strong. Character actions make sense, including the main character. He deals with his situation logically, but has an undercurrent of mistrusting others (which is explained well as the story continues and he grows as a person). He makes a mistake or two, but he normally learns from it. He is working towards a difficult goal at the moment, so the haste makes sense. Overall, no major concerns here, especially as the author seems to have a plan for him.
Grammar
Not seen any issues up to now, and the author is very receptive to feedback. Anything that is pointed out is either fixed or explained in a short time.
Character
The main character seems real. He doesn’t get any cheat knowledge out of the gate, and he treats his situation logically. The side characters feel like they belong in the world, and compliment he main character well. Interested how they are expanded upon going forwards. Author isn’t afraid to make tough situations for them, but I want to see how they resolve them. (Especially the one we are in the middle of currently:( )
Overall, I recommend this for anyone that enjoys the usual fairs and is looking for something with a nice twist. Current arc is close to ending, and I feel like the story is just getting started still. - WatatripRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Fun read, got through all the chapters and want more.
Changes a lot past chapter 30. Author sticks to what he wants to do, and I felt like it worked out well. Read it and see how you feel. - Lazy EmpressRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I started reading this story around the evening, bad idea since suddenly it was night.
At first the story is slightly confusing, like I wouldn't be able to tell you what's going on since I'm not sure. After that though it gets better, it still has its moment where I feel like things changed without me being informed.
For grammar there's a few mistakes here and there. But they look more like typos than actual mistakes.
The MC feels a bit weird, since apparently he lacks trust of people but it doesn't show. He seems fine with almost everyone really. And I don't know if the MC is a master fighter or a rookie like his name, at times he feels like he's a veteran fighter and knows what to do, then the next moment he misses everything and trips on a stone.
I still recommend reading it. Do it when you have time though, or else it's suddenly midnight and you don't know what happened. - gary0044187Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Enjoyable read. Author seems to have chosen a shorter but faster release cycle. Things looking good so far! Recognize that the MC is not ready in the beginning. This is a new and terrifying experience for him, and he is already plagued by insecurities and fears caused by prior betrayal. Do not expect a standard OP isekai protag.
- ikemonRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Read the first few chapters (10 or so), enjoying it up to now. A few issues but nothing big enough to spoil it.
Will update when I read more. - Sociable HermitRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Review of the novel as of Chapter 26.
Style: A bit simple and repetitive at times, but reads fluently.
Grammar: Some minor mistakes, but they don't hurt much overall.
Characters: MC is a bit all over the place. He keeps saying how much of a loner he is and how he doesn't trust people, but then trusts strangers almost immediately. He is also very, very passive and just goes along with the ideas of others most of the time. The other characters are fine, if a bit one-dimensional. There hasn't been really any character I've grown attached to. They might be getting more depth later on.
Story: So far, I'd call it a standard litRPG plot? I'm no expert in the genre though.
In general, the pacing is quite good, with something noteworthy happening every chapter.However, the story jumps around quite a bit, so it might be a bit confusing when skimming.
The supporter profession is an interesting choice for the protagonist, especially combined with the MC's supposed distrust of others, but the author never does much with the idea. Though that might be down to the MC's general blandness and poor characterization.
I quite like that the levels aren't the only thing that counts towards someone's strength, which makes the story feel less like a video game and makes battles a whole lot more exciting to me. In general, what little we see of the system early on seems well thought out.
So let's sum this up: Saint's Supporter is another one of those fantasy litRPGs on RR. It reads better than most and shows promise of something more in the future. It has a nice basic premise with the unwilling supporting class, but it remains to be seen if the author can do something interesting with it. - The SpectatorRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5My main issue with this novel is the MC. I understand he's trying to fit into the new world, but he's too naive/passive. Being more catious and less trusting would go a long way. The pacing could have some work. Otherwise I rate this a 3.7/5.
- BadGenuisRoyal Road★★ 2.0Dramatic!
The narration have many unnecessary description just for gravatas. Always trying to create intense atmosphere in situations.
It was depicted like the MC is some kind of Messiah. Where he can't even take care of himself.
The Mysteriousness in the start and deliberate vagueness about the 'system' is overdone.
All in all. Not recommended - th30dorRoyal Road★★ 2.0I tried reading some more after I first rated it, and it did not get better.
There's this betrayal plot bubbling around since the first few chapters. And the only reason it works is because all the characters hold a massive idiot ball. Very frustrating to read.
The first chapter, or prologue, opens with the big reveal. And it honestly doesn't bring anything to the story. It's more an instance of self sabotage from the author. By knowing what's gonna happen, all the buildup is useless.
Talking about buildup, the author tries too hard. Whatever the MC is doing, its dramatic. He randomly farms in a dungeon, he is disgusted by the killing of mobs. Other times, he is enraged, frustrated, angry. He is always riding some intense emotion. It makes it mundane. There's so much artificial tension that it becomes easy to ignore.
And finally, more of a pet peeve, but for a novel with supporter in name, he does almost 0 supporting. There's little buffing of allies, little help given. It's always the MC buffing himself. The MC's class, in how it plays out, is a very very common in the genre spell sword. Self buff, magical staff strike.
And on a related note, the world is a very low magic type of world. And that in itself is not a bad thing. But there is so much "I hit something with my stick" before you skip the fight scenes as they are not that interesting.
